About this home
2932 Gainsborough Drive is a timeless Spanish-inspired estate situated on a prominent corner lot in the prestigious community of San Marino, a city renowned for its tree-lined streets, architectural elegance, estate-style residences, and timeless Southern California charm. Rich in architectural character and classic detailing, the residence features grand formal living spaces, soaring ceilings, arched passageways, expansive bedrooms, covered verandas, interior courtyard-style entertaining areas, and beautiful indoor-outdoor flow throughout. Surrounded by mature landscaping and manicured grounds, the property offers a true private estate feel with expansive brick patios, lush lawns, multiple outdoor seating areas, and impressive curb appeal from every angle. The classic Spanish-style architecture, dramatic curved staircase, oversized windows, and elegant entertaining spaces create a rare sense of scale, warmth, and timeless sophistication. Extensive recent improvements provide both comfort and peace of mind, including a newer roof less than five years old, all new plumbing completed approximately three years ago, updated ducting throughout, newer exterior paint, a recently updated sprinkler system, and newly added mini-split systems in several rooms for enhanced energy-efficient heating and cooling. Conveniently located near premier dining, shopping, private clubs, and cultural destinations, the property is also situated within the award-winning San Marino Unified School District. A rare opportunity to own a character-rich estate that blends timeless architecture with meaningful infrastructure upgrades already completed.
